Where Greendale sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2745 covers Greendale and the streets immediately around it. At about 50.1 km west of the CBD it falls in the Penrith & the Outer West, where we have vans out daily. We travel out to Greendale on planned runs through the Penrith & the Outer West, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
Around Greendale we are most often working near Bents Basin State Conservation Area.
The suburb sits in the Penrith City and Hawkesbury area. Silverdale, Luddenham and Bringelly are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. Bigger properties mean sheds, stables and stacked timber to check as well as the house.
Around Greendale the pattern is fairly consistent: acreage properties with outbuildings that need checking alongside the house. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
All of 2745 falls inside the area we service.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Silverdale and Luddenham sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2745 come up regularly.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Greendale roof removes the bridge entirely.
People seal the obvious holes and miss the ones that matter. Six millimetres is enough for a mouse; twelve for a rat, and it will gnaw a smaller one open. We walk the outside of a Greendale property looking at exactly that.
A female mouse can produce a litter every three weeks, and those young breed at six weeks. A single pair in a Greendale roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Light-framed and built for climbing, with big thin ears and a tail longer than its body. You find it high up: in the roof void, the wall cavity, palms and dense trees. Rat control →
A solid, blunt-nosed rat with a tail shorter than its body, and a burrower rather than a climber. Subfloors, drains, compost bays and the space under a slab.
Tiny, and able to pass a gap the width of a pencil. It lives close to its food in kitchens, pantries and the cavities behind them. Mice control →
This is a native animal with legal protection in NSW. Correct identification is not a formality here - it determines whether treatment is lawful at all.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Sizeable capsule-shaped pellets, typically grouped along a runway | Small rice-like droppings spread widely, including in drawers and cupboards |
| Noise | Heavy movement - thumps and dragging - in the roof, usually at night | Light rapid scratching and scurrying in the walls and ceiling |
| Where the signs are | The roof void and eaves, the subfloor, garden beds and under decking | Kitchen and pantry, behind the fridge and stove, and in bottom drawers |
| How small a gap | Around 12 mm upwards, and they can gnaw their way through less | Around 6 mm, the width of a pencil |
| What gets damaged | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed through, plus fruit in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, and paper shredded for nesting |
| Attitude to new things | Wary, so stations are not visited straight away | Curious, so stations get investigated fast - but each feed is tiny |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy rub marks on beams, rafters and around entry holes | Faint marks that are rarely noticed |

NSW Health associates rodents with leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro illnesses such as salmonellosis.
Constant gnawing is how a rodent keeps its teeth in check. In a roof void that means cabling, gas and water lines take the damage.
Contamination is not negotiable: urine and droppings on surfaces and packaging mean the food is thrown out and the area disinfected.
Both rats and mice breed several times a year, so a pair noticed in autumn can be a colony by spring.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
Inspection covers roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter. Droppings, rub marks, nests and runways tell us whether it is rats, mice or both.
Based on the species, the building and who lives there (children, pets, food handling), we recommend baiting, trapping, proofing or a combination.
Lockable, tamper-resistant stations go on the runways we find, secured and out of reach, with trap placement where baiting isn't suitable.
You get shown every gap, vent and penetration they are using, with a quote to seal them - or instructions if you would rather do it yourself.
Each visit checks and tops up the stations and records activity. When feeding stops, the program scales back.
No single method suits every building. This is how we decide what goes where.
| Method | How it works | Best for | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baiting in lockable stations | Blocks of rodenticide locked inside tamper-resistant stations placed on live runways | Roof voids, subfloors and outside perimeters where activity is established | A poor choice where a carcass in a wall cavity would create an odour problem |
| Trapping | Enclosed or snap traps set on the wall lines and runways, serviced to a schedule | Food businesses, kitchens and pantries, and small indoor populations | Requires correct placement and consistent checking |
| Proofing | Sealing every gap, vent, weep hole and pipe penetration with rodent-resistant materials | Every building, once activity has been brought down | Seals them out, not in - so treatment has to come first |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic blocks or stations, checked each visit for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata buildings and homes near reserves or waterways | Really only works as an ongoing scheduled service |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
A terrace usually shares structure with its neighbours, so rodents are rarely confined to one house. We target the roof void, the subfloor and the points where services penetrate.
Bin rooms and basement car parks house the rats; mice use the service risers. One unit treated alone rarely resolves it - a strata program across common property does.
Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code requires food businesses to take all practicable measures to keep pests out. Restaurant programs use trapping in food areas, numbered stations elsewhere and a site plan for inspectors.
Between the loading dock, the pallet racking and the ceiling space there is no shortage of harbourage. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reporting.

Droppings along the ducting and joists map the runways, which is exactly where stations belong.
Finding shredded insulation and nest material in the subfloor points to ground-level rat activity.
Secured in position and lockable, so the bait stays inside regardless of rodents, pets or children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Greendale job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a Greendale ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
Before placing a single station we look at what is feeding them: compost, fruit trees, pet bowls, bird seed, bins. Remove the supply and the program works far faster.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
Only tamper-resistant stations, secured in position and kept away from children, pets and wildlife.

Get a Free QuoteRodent control starts from $89. Two things move it: how big the place is, and how far it has already spread. We work that out on the phone or on site and tell you the figure before anything starts in Greendale. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Greendale is about 50.1 km west of the CBD in the Penrith & the Outer West, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
On larger blocks the house is usually not where it starts. Sheds, woodpiles, feed stores and outbuildings give rats and mice somewhere established to live before they ever reach the house.
Larger properties with outbuildings, so sheds, stables and stored timber are inspected alongside the house.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Greendale 2745, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
Normally you can stay. Some treatments mean keeping out of a particular room briefly, and we will flag that when we arrive so you can plan around it.
Allow one to two hours for a typical Greendale property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
We cover the whole of Greendale, from the streets around Bents Basin State Conservation Area out to the suburb boundary and on into Silverdale.
